Brandi Bowman
Welcome! Are you looking for someone to truly listen and offer feedback, coping tools, and homework between sessions? Then I just might be the Therapist you’re searching for! My name is Brandi and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Addictions Counselor (LAC) in the state of Colorado. My counseling approach is warm, interactive, and person-centered; using techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I also utilize EMDR and IFS therapies. I have the most experience working with folks that struggle with anxiety, depression, family/relationship conflicts, anger management, life transitions, self-esteem, adult ADHD, substance use disorders, and complex trauma/abuse. I am an ally and love working with LGBTQIA+ folks! I have educational and personal experience with parenting dynamics, parent-child interactions, blended families, and co-parenting. It’s important to get to know you and build trust before digging in to work through the tough situations you’re facing. The therapeutic relationship is essential and I believe in treating everyone with respect, dignity, and the grace of doing the best you could with the tools you had. So what does all of this mean for you? It means that no problem is too big or too small – I'm here to work through it WITH you. I have appointments available on Tuesday & Thursday afternoon/evenings, and I do check my messages often. It is helpful to use video chat (especially if you tend to talk with your hands like I do), but I will engage however you’re comfortable: video, phone, or texting. You’ve already made the biggest step: reaching out. Now let’s work together on your goals and make some real, lasting changes in your life!
Danica Hemmann
Hi! I am a LCSW living in Denver, Colorado. I have been working for over ten years supporting people through life transitions, anxiety, depression, or any life challenges, obstacles, and questions. I like to use a strengths based focus but most importantly want to work in partnership with you to find the best path to support you toward your goals. I believe in the importance of being trauma-informed, culturally competent, and that you are the expert in your life. I have worked with youth, families, and young adults for years as well as with homeless youth. I strongly believe we can grow and develop tools to improve our own lives. I know it is a big step to seek therapy and finding a therapist that is a good fit is extremely important. Being vulnerable is not always easy but I hope I can make you feel comfortable and at ease during the process of exploring how to better your life. Life isn't meant to be perfect but when we can learn how to best navigate and handle life's challenges, we can enjoy every day.
Renee Joyce
My name is Renee and I hope that you start to feel a bit better after booking your first session with me today! I would love to know more about who you are and how we can work together to help you be on your road to achieving your best life worth living. I am so glad that you are here! My treatment approach involves helping you to achieve the most success and progress in as little sessions as needed. I am solution-oriented which means I focus on who you want to be rather than where you may feel stuck now. I apply evidenced-based protocols and techniques to help resolve issues around anxiety, trauma, mood and stress. Our sessions will be designed around preparing you to achieve your goals and in celebrating your many successes along the way. Our time together may be brief as many clients achieve their primary targets within 4 to 12 sessions for short term goals or longer for clients who wish to address deeper issues including trauma recovery. Healing, thriving and living your best life starts right now! With gratitude, Renee Joyce, MA, LMFT Note about personal safety: It is important to me that this process is helpful, safe and effective for you. Please consider if this setting is appropriate for you with phone or live chats only. If you are recently struggling with suicidal thoughts or tendencies, and are unable to maintain personal safety, I recommend meeting with another provider who offers video solutions or accessing higher level of care at this time.

Linda Bianchi
I am a marriage and family therapist licensed in the states of Colorado and California with over 25 years of experience working with clients ranging in development from young children to the elderly. I have worked with individuals struggling with anxiety and depression, with couples who had reached an impasse in their communication and those experiencing parenting problems. I understand the dynamics of substance abuse and have helped guide individuals towards treatment. I also have extensive experience with crisis intervention and helping families move from being problem-focused to becoming solution-focused. My approach to therapy is strongly rooted in exploring the family of origin and how the family we come from is so instrumental in shaping our beliefs and behaviors, which sometimes do not serve us. I believe that with an understanding of how family dynamics shape one’s sense of self, comes empowerment, which then enables an individual to recognize maladaptive thought processes and change the way they think about themselves, their choices and their subsequent behaviors. What I bring to the table is a strong, empathetic nature and the ability to listen intently and patiently. I possess an innate ability to conceptualize what you tell me in a way that brings a deeper understanding. You've taken the first step towards seeking a happier and more fulfilling life by reaching out for support. I'll be here each step of the way to guide you in your journey. I look forward to working with you!

I believe in treating anyone with respect, dignity, and the value they deserve. I use a blend of approaches but mostly focus on cognitive behavioral therapy and solution focused therapy. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

How should I prepare for my first therapy session with a Marble counselor?
Before seeing your Marble therapist, prep for your session by reading to understand the process. You might write a list of questions you want to ask your psychotherapist, any emotional pain you may feel, and the ways in which you hope to improve. When you attend your session, you can let our therapists know if you have any concerns or feel unsure about what to talk about. Marble therapists here may help guide you with open-ended therapeutic questions while offering mental health services. The first session will often serve as an intake to get to know you as a person and learn why you're attending therapy.
Should I find a therapist or psychologist for therapy if I feel fine?
Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what it might entail. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or specific condition. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback. A Marble licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.
Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find with a Marble counselor can be dependent on your process.
People may also attend therapy for specific motives, such as bullying, an autism diagnosis, a desire to learn mindfulness meditation, personality concerns, trouble with office workers, specific phobias, and many other principles that a counselor can help with.
Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist worth it?
Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. A psychologist can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based psychologist in Marble, Colorado can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.

Many people struggling with anxiety and depression, substance abuse, body image issues, and more find therapists that are a good fit for them, feel supported, and gain further insight into their lives through internet-based therapy.
Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?
The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
